Late October escapes are calling with two destinations that couldn't be more different—yet both deliver exactly what Dallas travelers need right now. Key West promises that Florida Keys magic without the Florida tourist crowds, while Lima serves up coastal cliffs, world-class ceviche, and a gateway to Machu Picchu that's way more affordable than you'd expect.
We're seeing savings up to 39% on these routes, with departures running from late October through December. Two bucket-list destinations, both within reach.
Big News: Premium Now Available Monthly
We're now offering Premium for just $9/month — no annual commitment required. If you'd rather save long term, the $70 annual plan is still the best value. Start monthly, see every deal three times a week, and switch whenever you're ready.
Key West is Your Tropical Escape
$291 roundtrip — Save 39%
Mon, Oct 27 – Tue, Nov 4 | American Airlines, 2 stops
Two-ninety-one to Key West. You're looking at the southernmost point in the continental U.S., where the dress code is flip-flops and the biggest decision you'll make is beach or pool. Late October in Key West means perfect fall weather (still 80°F while Dallas is finally cooling down), world-class snorkeling at Dry Tortugas, and sunset celebrations at Mallory Square that locals take as seriously as we take our BBQ. Yes, there are two stops, but that price makes it worth the extra travel time.
More Key West Options
- $381 roundtrip (Save 19%) — Thu, Oct 30 – Thu, Nov 6, American Airlines, 1 stop. Prefer fewer connections? This route cuts your stops in half and still gets you to island paradise for a price that makes sense.
- $434 roundtrip (Save 8%) — Mon, Oct 20 – Tue, Oct 28, American Airlines, 2 stops. Need to travel earlier in October? This timing works perfectly if you want to catch Key West before Halloween hits – think costume parties, Duval Street celebrations, and island festivities.
Pro tip: Key West in late October means great weather without peak winter pricing. Book accommodations early since the island stays busy year-round. The Dry Tortugas ferry books up weeks in advance.
Lima is Your Coastal Adventure
$495 roundtrip — Save 36%
Thu, Dec 4 – Wed, Dec 10 | Spirit Airlines, 1 stop
Four-ninety-five to Lima. We're talking coastal cliffs that rival anything you've seen on the West Coast, ceviche so fresh it'll ruin seafood for you back home, and a gateway to Machu Picchu that's more accessible than most people realize. December in Lima means summer is starting (hello, Southern Hemisphere), beach weather, and exploring ancient ruins without the crowds that pack Peru in July.
More Lima Options
- $586 roundtrip (Save 25%) — Sun, Dec 14 – Sun, Dec 21, Spirit Airlines, 1 stop. Need a later December getaway? This week works perfectly for anyone who wants to experience Lima's coastal magic right before the holidays hit full swing.
- $592 roundtrip (Save 24%) — Mon, Dec 1 – Tue, Dec 9, Avianca, 1 stop. Want to kick off December with adventure? Avianca's routing through Bogotá makes this a solid option for anyone who prefers non-budget carriers.
Pro tip: Lima in December is summer season with warm coastal weather perfect for exploring. No visa needed for stays under 90 days, and the exchange rate makes your dollars stretch beautifully.
